Abstract

The evolution of hydrogen from the radiolysis of liquid toluene, toluene- alpha , alpha , alpha -d/sub 3/, toluene-d/sub 8/, and equimolar solutions of pairs of these toluene analogs was studied. Results indicate that a disproportionately large fraction of the hydrogen gas evolved during radiolysis is from the hydrogen atoms of the methyl group, that a fraction of the gas is formed by an intramolecular process, and that some of the gas is formed by a bimolecular process other than abstraction from the methyl group. An interpretation based on free radical reactions is presented which accounts qualitatively for the data presented. (auth)
